Default Any guys making big power 1500hp and keeping AWD transfer case?

Wondering how many guys are making big power and keeping AWD. Basically wondering which AWD transfer case is the strongest in stock form.

Would like a simple AWD tcase without dealing with high and low gearing as that wouldn't be used.

Denali/TBSS/SilveradoSS, etc. Are those transfer cases basically the same unit?

Those cases are the same. I think. Look up SWG Automotive and Performance on face book. He has a high horse power truck with awd transfer case.

I believe there are a couple 1000, maybe 1100 wheel 4X4 guys here, but not 1500 wheel.

Chances are if you ever plant that much power you will lift the front of the truck. AWD/4wd doesn't do much good if the tires are in the air

What if you raced in reverse?

AWD is only good for the street anyway. Real serious drag racing with slicks is going to be better 2wd than awd. Look at the fastest TBSSs

4.6 out of 5 stars is pretty good reviews. I don't know which reviews you are looking at.

The truck I am referring to is in the video below.

That's funny. I think not. Can't think of the last time I saw a GTR or Lambo lifting the front wheels on the street lol.

Turbo AWD LS Truck spins all 4 down the track - YouTube

Yeah the two most recent reviews is what pops up.

Correct, not looking for a drag race combo. As mentioned looking for a very fast AWD setup for street / highway.
